Lépine, Louis de (sold)
Louis de Lépine (fl. 1683-1699) was a French writer and educator, possibly native to Italy, who wrote and corrected a number of French-Italian dictionaries published in Paris and Venice near the end of the 17th century. He is known to have produced one separately-issued map of the Western Hemisphere, likely as an educational tool. Nothing is known of his background or life beyond his published work.
Extremely rare, separately issued.
